A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly moneylender, who lives without joy or regard for the wellbeing of others. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by four ghosts, including the spirit of his once business partner, Jacob Marley. Supernatural intervention makes it possible for Scrooge to revisit events in his life as well as catch a glimpse of his possible future. When morning comes, Scrooge learns if he still has an opportunity to “keep the spirit of Christmas alive” in his heart.

Long-time BrickStreet patrons may remember this adaptation of A Christmas Carol when it was presented in the Forest City High School Auditorium in December 1999. Thompson directed that version and also designed the set. Julie Keely is directing this 2018 version with Arlene Moeller as stage manager. Sam Keely is set designer.
